Understanding the slag flow behavior is important in an entrained coal gasifier for its influence of ash discharge and wall heat transfer rate. This study presents a new model to predict the transient behavior of the liquid and solid slag layers. Unlike the previous steady-state model, the solid slag layer was included in solving the governing equations in order to identify the temporal and spatial transformation between the solid-liquid slag, rather than treating the solid region as a boundary condition of the liquid layer. The performance of the new model was evaluated for changes in the slag deposition rate (${\pm}10%$) and gas temperature (${\pm}50K$) in a simple cylindrical gasifier. The results show that the characteristic times to reach a new steady-state ranged between 80 s to 180s for the changes in the two parameters. Because the characteristic times of the gasifier temperature and slag deposition rate by changes in the coal type and/or operating conditions would be almost instantaneous, the time-scale for the slag thickness at the bottom of the gasifier to stabilize was much larger.

A program based on a 2-D CFD code has been developed to simulate a gas turbine engine. 2-D Navier-Stokes implicit code with $k-\omega$ turbulent model is used in compressor and turbine. Lumped method chemical equilibrium code with 10 species of molecular is applied to combustor with assuming perfect mixture and 100% combustion efficiency at constant pressure state. Fluid properties are shared on interfaces between engine components. Compressor supplies outlet temperature and pressure to combustor. At the same time, combustor also carries temperature and pressure to turbine. The back pressure of compressor outlet is transferred by inlet pressure of turbine. Unsteady phenomena in rotor-stator are covered by mixing-plane method. The running condition of engine can be determined only by given the inlet condition of compressor, the outlet condition of turbine, equivalence ratio and rotating speed.

본 연구에서는 분무화염의 기초적인 물리현상을 해명하기 위하여 층류 대향류장에 형성된 분무 화염에 2차원 직접 수치계산(Direct numerical simulation, DNS)을 적용하여, 당량비 및 연료종이 분무화염 구조에 미치는 영향에 대하여 관찰하였다. 기상에 대해서는 질량 보존식, 운동량 보존식, 에너지 보존식을 오일리안(Eulerian) 법으로 계산하였으며, 액적에 대해서는 화염중의 모든 개개의 유적을 라그란지안(Lagrangian) 법으로 추적하였다. 액체 연료로는 n-데칸 ($C_{10}H_{22}$)과 n-헵탄($C_7H_{16}$)을 이용하였으며, 연소반응 모델에는 총괄반응식을 이용하였다. 당량비가 증가함에 따라 착화가 빠르며, 고온영역도 넓게 분포하고 있다. 그러나, 최대 온도치는 당량비가 증가함에 따라 한번 증가한 후 감소하는 경향을 나타내고 있다. 당량비가 클수록 최대 온도가 감소하는 것은 분무화염 내부의 군연소 거동에 의한 냉각효과 때문이라고 생각된다. 또한, n-헵탄은 n-데칸과 비교하여 증발속도가 빠르기 때문에 넓은 고온 영역을 형성하지만 최대 온도는 거의 같은 값을 나타내었다.

To increase the reliability of auto-ignition in CAI engines, the thermodynamic properties of intake flow is often controlled using recycled exhaust gases, called internal EGR. Because of the internal EGR influence on the overall thermodynamic properties and mixing quality of the gases that affect the subsequent combustion behavior, optimizing the intake and exhaust valve timing for the EGR is important to achieve the reliable auto-ignition and high thermal efficiency. In the present study, fully 3D numerical simulations were carried out to predict the mixing characteristics and flow field inside the cylinder as a function of valve timing. The 3D unsteady Eulerian-Lagrangian two-phase model was used to account for the interaction between the intake air and remaining internal EGR during the under-lap operation while varying three major parameters: the intake valve(IV) and exhaust valve(EV) timings and intake valve lift(IVL). Computational results showed that the largest EVC retardation, as in A6, yielded the optimal mixing of both EGR and fuel. The IV timing had little effect on the mixing quality. However, the IV timing variation caused backflow from the cylinder to the intake port. With respect to reduction of heat loss due to backflow, the case in B6 was considered to present the optimal operating condition. With the variation of the intake valve lift, the A1 case yielded the minimum amount of backflow. The best mixing was delivered when the lift height was at a minimum of 2 mm.

To satisfy the needs on fuel economy and engine performance, continuous variable valve lift systems are applying to engines. In the CVVL system, fuel economy can be improved by reducing pumping loss during the induction process, and engine performance can be also improved by controlling volumetric efficiency and the residual gas fraction. Because the residual gas fraction directly affects volumetric efficiency, engine performance, combustion efficiency and emissions in SI engines, controlling residual gas fraction is one of the important things in engine development process. This analysis investigates the residual gas fraction and volumetric efficiency with changes of intake valve lifts and intake valve timings. In this study, unsteady state solutions were solved during exhaust and induction processes. Results show variation of the residual gas fraction and volumetric efficiency by changing intake valve timing and lift. Decreasing intake valve lift leads to increase the residual gas fraction and to decrease volumetric efficiency.

가스터빈 엔진을 모사하기 위한 프로그램을 2차원 CFD 코드를 기반으로 개발 하였다. 압축기와 터빈은 k-$\omega$ SST 난류 모델의 2차원 NS(Navier Stokes) 코드를 이용하였고, 연소기는 lumped method 화학 평형 코드를 바탕으로 완전 혼합 상태에서 연소효율 100%로 가정된 케로신 공기 반응의 생성물 중 대표적인 10종류를 몰분율을 계산, 당량비에 따른 연소기 온도를 예측하였다. 압축기, 터빈에서 로터의 회전에 의한 비정상 유동 현상은 mixing-plane 기법을 이용한 경계면 처리로 그 효과를 나타내었고, 압축기는 연소기로 온도 압력을 주고, 연소기는 터빈으로 온도와 질유량을 전달하나 압력의 변화가 없는 것으로 가정하였다. 이를 바탕으로 아음속 조건에서의 압축기 입구 조건과 터빈 출구 조건, 회전수, 연소기의 당량비를 주는 것만으로 엔진의 성능이 계산 될 수 있는 통합 코드를 구성하였다.

A comprehensive numerical study is carried out to investigate for the understanding of the flow evolution and flame development in a supersonic combustor with normal injection of ncumally injecting hydrogen in airsupersonic flows. The formulation treats the complete conservation equations of mass, momentum, energy, and species concentration for a multi-component chemically reacting system. For the numerical simulation of supersonic combustion, multi-species Navier-Stokes equations and detailed chemistry of H2-Air is considered. It also accommodates a finite-rate chemical kinetics mechanism of hydrogen-air combustion GRI-Mech. 2.11[1], which consists of nine species and twenty-five reaction steps. Turbulence closure is achieved by means of a k-two-equation model (2). The governing equations are spatially discretized using a finite-volume approach, and temporally integrated by means of a second-order accurate implicit scheme (3-5).The supersonic combustor consists of a flat channel of 10 cm height and a fuel-injection slit of 0.1 cm width located at 10 cm downstream of the inlet. A cavity of 5 cm height and 20 cm width is installed at 15 cm downstream of the injection slit. A total of 936160 grids are used for the main-combustor flow passage, and 159161 grids for the cavity. The grids are clustered in the flow direction near the fuel injector and cavity, as well as in the vertical direction near the bottom wall. The no-slip and adiabatic conditions are assumed throughout the entire wall boundary. As a specific example, the inflow Mach number is assumed to be 3, and the temperature and pressure are 600 K and 0.1 MPa, respectively. Gaseous hydrogen at a temperature of 151.5 K is injected normal to the wall from a choked injector.A series of calculations were carried out by varying the fuel injection pressure from 0.5 to 1.5MPa. This amounts to changing the fuel mass flow rate or the overall equivalence ratio for different operating regimes. Figure 1 shows the instantaneous temperature fields in the supersonic combustor at four different conditions. The dark blue region represents the hot burned gases. At the fuel injection pressure of 0.5 MPa, the flame is stably anchored, but the flow field exhibits a high-amplitude oscillation. At the fuel injection pressure of 1.0 MPa, the Mach reflection occurs ahead of the injector. The interaction between the incoming air and the injection flow becomes much more complex, and the fuel/air mixing is strongly enhanced. The Mach reflection oscillates and results in a strong fluctuation in the combustor wall pressure. At the fuel injection pressure of 1.5MPa, the flow inside the combustor becomes nearly choked and the Mach reflection is displaced forward. The leading shock wave moves slowly toward the inlet, and eventually causes the combustor-upstart due to the thermal choking. The cavity appears to play a secondary role in driving the flow unsteadiness, in spite of its influence on the fuel/air mixing and flame evolution. Further investigation is necessary on this issue. The present study features detailed resolution of the flow and flame dynamics in the combustor, which was not typically available in most of the previous works. In particular, the oscillatory flow characteristics are captured at a scale sufficient to identify the underlying physical mechanisms. Much of the flow unsteadiness is not related to the cavity, but rather to the intrinsic unsteadiness in the flowfield, as also shown experimentally by Ben-Yakar et al. [6], The interactions between the unsteady flow and flame evolution may cause a large excursion of flow oscillation. The work appears to be the first of its kind in the numerical study of combustion oscillations in a supersonic combustor, although a similar phenomenon was previously reported experimentally. A more comprehensive discussion will be given in the final paper presented at the colloquium.
